DENVER, August ia News SPECIAL
from Glenwood, says: Nothing has been
heard from Sheriff Kendall since Thursday
last, but enough has come through sources
from over the range to justify telief that
a battle has been fought with the Indian

known that five Indians were either killed
or wounded and that the renegade Utes
concluded to go back to the reservation II
permitted to do SO. He Colorow) asks
that he be given fifteen days to take the
wounded Indians back to the Uintat

country. Others believe he will return t.
the agency and settle down, for time
least. General west will remain there 10

CHICAGO, August 13.-An Inter Ocean

Piper City, who positively contradict the
testimony OF Timothy Coughlin, section
boss. that he and his gang put out all the
fires along the track before they left their
work Wednesday,. These men were of the
party which went from Piper City to the
wreck on a hand car. They say, as they
passed along the track east Of the wreck
they saw fire burning in the hedges and
grass all the way along. The best evidence
obtainable is that the fire built by the
section hands was within 100 rods of the
burned bridge when it was left.
There is general sentiment among the re-
sidents here that the section men were
largely to blame. Very few people, except
officials OF the roads give any credence to
the incendiary theory. There was not
nearly so much robbing at the wreck as was
at first supposed. Watches and rings
thought to have been stolen are being
found among debris as it is cleared.

Pensacola. Fla, Special: Bitterness has

very recently received an official notice of
his appointment. waited in vain for many
days for his commission, having forwarded
his bond and other necessary papers in the
premises. He then wrote to q friend in
Pensacola about the matter. This gentle

letter. Moreno then wrote to another
friend in this city requesting him to learn
whether the gentleman first written to had
answered the letter. This correspondence
aroused q suspicion that the Bluff Springs

went to the Office and boldly informed
Postmaster Williams that his mail had
been intercepted, and that he had positive
knowledge that his commission was then
in the Office or had been destroyed.
WILLIAMS DENIED THE CHARGE,
but few minutes later entered Moreno's
place of business and gave him two letters.
One contained commission and the other
was tho missing epistle from Pensacola.
Williams excused the delay by saying the
letters had accidentally fallen into pile of
trash when the mail pouches we're emptied
of their contents, and had been unnoticed
till Moreno called attention to their disap-
pearance. When Mr.. Moreno glanced at
his com n.ission he found that it bore the
date OF October 20, 1884. He Immediately
wrote the Postmaster-G General, asking an

had been appointed to the Office on Octo-
Der 20, 1884; that the oath OF Office, blank
bond, etc., had been forwarded, and that
in failure to hear from him several let
ters asking an explanation of his refusal
to act in the matter had been sent to him.
Not one of these was received by Mr..
Moreno. In 1884 Mr.. Moreno was an
applicant for the Office, but never bearing
that his application had borne fruit he
paid no more attention to the matter,
that Williams, who was then
had been continued in Office.
It is believed from all of these facts that
Williams, acting in his own interest, with
held all of Moreno's mail matter that
might possibly throw light upon the situa-
ton and kept himself in Office by keeping
Moreno out for nearly three years.
